LONG STEADY STROKE

l GAUDAUK,s LONG STEADY STROKE Brings Him in an Easy Winner Four Lengths Ahead of Hanlan.
 CHICAGO, May 30.-The clouds were leaden this afternoon and the water on the Calumet course little rough, but Hanlan and Gau-
 daur started promptly in their three-m
 race for 5000 and the championship of
 America. Hanlan was at once triae in the
 lead, pulling & short quick stroke forty-two
 to the minute. Gaudaur kept close to him
 with long steady sweep about thirty-eight
 to the minute. Gradually Hanlan forged
 ahead and at the end of the first mile was a
 full boat length ahead. It had been the gos-
 sip that if Hanlan could lead to the turn he
 was nearly a certain winner, but if Gaudaur
 reached the buoy first Hanlan would never
 catch up in stern chase. Great, therefore,
 were the expectations of Hanlans friends to
 see him nearing the turn sclearly ahead of
 Gaudaur and gaining all the time. At
 this time the wind suddenly freshened
 and large drops of rain began to fall. The lake was soon lumpy and the downpour
 was almost binding. Hanlan turned first two lengths ahead; time 1909. He was pulling about thirty-fve strokes and round ing to Gaudaur struck about the same gait. HanIan stopped an instant here for some purpose, but did not lose the lead. He kept we'll to the front as from the start until en- tering the third mile. There Hanlan com menced to flag. His stroke became so un- even and he pulled with such exertion that shipped one of the choppy seas. Gaudaur was rowing magnifcently. He showed the same long steady sweep he had taken at the outset, but faster. With machine like precis- ion he passed poor struggling Hanlan. A boats length of water between them could be seen, then another and at last one more. Hanlan spurted and closed up the gap, but could not stand the pace and again Gau- daur's great sweep began to tell. The sin gle glance was enough. Hanlan turned second and saw himself irretrievably beaten. Gaudaur was six lengths to the fore. Seeing imously slackened the speed and passed the stand an easy winner by four lengths; time 19:3O.
 It was fine performance under the ad- verse conditions. Hanlan was seen imme- diately after the race and asked what he thought of the result. 'I do not think the best man won,"n said Hanlan, "though I Hanlan said he had not been in the best of condition. ''I have been suf- fering from cold,' he said, 'tand it told on me exactly when most wanted it not to-" In sharp contrast to the glum appearance of Hanlan was the cheery, sunbrowned face of Gaudaur. ''That was the hardest race ever rowed,'' he said. 'I just had to do my level best," added he, "and did it."
 The referee of the race was Hanlan's Busby, of New York. Hanlan gets forty per cent. of $3, 800, the total gate receipts The remainder goes to Gaudaur. l
 Gaudaur broke the record, the best previ- I ous time being his own against Teemer over the same course, 1854.
